It didn't take long for the footage to be shared thousands of times, with Internet users commenting in disbelief at the size of the bird and suggesting that it must be either a prank or a man in a costume.
As it turns out, the enormous bird is actually neither of those things - it is in fact a real animal known as a Brahma chicken. Females can weigh up to 14 pounds and males as much as 18 pounds.
Its eggs, which are highly prized during the wintertime, weigh upwards of 60g.
